The books are so much better than the movies. Katniss feels like a real teenager with trauma not just some survival is young woman. Peeta has so much more sassy and savvy. Haymitch too has some more depth but him and the other characters are about the same. The realities of this harsh dystopian hit harder coming to understand them with Katniss and her inner monologue rather than just observing it on screen. The illustrations are nice for the fans but convey such meaning in being down black and white. As well as the specific scenes not just being book and film favorites, but holding deep meaning to Katniss.
